70 times 7

[Jehovah Jireh]

I just happened to notice that when i post this thread it will be my 77th post,
this made me think of the scriptures in Mathew.

Mathew 18:21 & 22

Then peter came to him and said " lord how often shall my brother sin against me, and i forgive him? Up to seven times?"

Jesus said to him, " I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."

wow thats 490 times!

Amen

Just in case any new Christians or yet to be Christians read this, what Jesus is basically saying is to always forgive just like GOD forgives us when we ask for it and repent of our sins.

Forgot to add Scripture to back up my statement:

Matthew 6:14
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Matthew 6:15
But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Mark 11:25
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
